For non-prison chat:
How do you like the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art?
If you like art, you are pretty lucky having such a good art gallery nearby. The only ones in the country that I have visited that I think are better overall are the Met in NY and the National Gallery in DC. But the Nelson has a better collection of Chinese art than either of those, so if one's specific interests lie in that direction, then you are really in luck. It is a vastly better art gallery than one would expect in a "cow town."
Good restaurants are available in KC, too.
Cost of living is low relative to other large cities.
The weather sucks. Way too hot and humid in the summer, and nasty, icy winters.
Need a car to get around town.
Visiting that art gallery has been on my "To-Do" list for a couple years now, but I'm overworked with being forced to work a 62 hour work week because we are frequently understaffed. You're right though. I do like the eateries.

We don't know, because most people do not report being raped. We had a guy we knew was raped but wouldn't talk about it because he was way too scared of the inmate who threatened to find him or his family if he talked.
We had another one who almost died bleeding out his rectum from two weeks of being raped by pretty much every guy in the module (it was a mistake to put just one white kid in a module of black gang bangers). We found him bloody and passed out in his bunk during a routine check and rushed him to the ER. He still wouldn't talk about it out of the fear and shame.

DNA testing could be done without the victim telling anyone anything. Why is that not done?
Also, wouldn't having cameras everywhere be a good idea, so that these kinds of things could be stopped as soon as they start?
Without a complaining victim, the act is seen as "consensual." It sickens me to say that, but that is how it is handled. We do have cameras, but they aren't being watched all the time. We just pull the recording in case we think something happened and hopefully it didn't happen in a blind spot or just out of view. It all comes down to funding in preventing crap like that from happening and as I've said, we are not funded properly.
